How to train your robot
We have been learning how to give a set of instructions (commands) in order to get our 'robots' to move.
We need to keep practising reading tricky words so that we can recognise them quickly! Make sure you practise reading at home every day and write it in your Reading Record!
We have been learning about putting words in alphabetical order to support our learning about non-fiction texts. Where can you find alphabetical order being used in everyday life?
